Futuristic space bum.

Damn, looks like I’m a little late to the party. I’m kinda glad I missed the sale actually because it’s really not something I could justify buying right now.

I hope everyone that has bought one enjoys their Deck 😄

Best guess? Whichever account gave account 6 permission to play their game.

Either account 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 will be the user that gives 6 the permission to play their game, so it follows they’re the one that (I’m assuming) will get banned also. It’s a good question you raise and I’d be interested to know for sure myself.

Unless I’ve misunderstood; that’s exactly why I asked the question in my original comment. I’ll explain my / the reasoning:

I own a game on a Steam account (A) and want to hack (and evade bans) using another Steam account (B).

I share my library/game from account (A) to account (B) then hack on account B and only account B gets banned… What’s to then stop me from making Steam account C, D, E, F… etc? Absolutely nothing. Hence the double ban.

I stress that if you do share a game / your Steam library with others you trust them explicitly.

Not sure I agree, how else are they meant to prevent the ocean of “It wasn’t me, it was my brother” excuses from hackers smurfing accounts?

I’d recommend (to everyone) that if you’re unsure -or have even the slightest doubt about the person you’re going to give access to your Steam account- to politely decline and play it safe.

I didn’t mean to sound like I was complaining, I was trying to express my surprise.

I said in my comment I’d used a controller to play on PC. When I played Deadlock (a week or two ago) the controls were most certainly not configured (at least not via PC + wired controller) hense the community keybinds.

The only thing I can suggest is; either there has been an update in the last week which has added support or it’s configured for the Deck but not PC+controller yet.

My apologies, when I said released I meant released for public testing / playing (ie, it’s current state).

I’ve played a little with keyboard and mouse as well as a controller (using community settings) and currently it very much feels like it would be difficult to play with a controller (I’d like to stress I’m hoping and happy to be proven wrong about that further down the line).

My surprise was that Valve have brought about a game like Deadlock which currently (to me) feels very much like a keyboard and mouse only game. Again, looking forward to that potentially changing.

With that in mind, the game is likely to feature controller support when it releases on PC, as it is expected to be Steam Deck compatible.

I hope so.

It baffled me that Valve released a game that isn’t really compatible with controllers not long after releasing the Deck. I was kinda hoping Deadlock would be very controller friendly. When/if this happens I’ll give it a second look.
